Hi ladies - I am new to this site and in three weeks, will be new to the Cherry Hill, New Jersey area (we are moving from Orlando, FL). This is my 2nd pregnancy and I am due October 9th and I will need to find a midwife, a doula and a place to deliver that is supportive of natural birth. It is really important to me to deliver naturally and drug-free and I have to admit, I am nervous after reading about NJ's extremely high c-section rate. I do have high blood-pressure and am on meds and I believe this disqualifies me from a birthing center, so I am looking for a hospital where I can see a midwife and where they will support my decision for a natural birth (barring all emergencies, of course).
Any recommendations? I am willing to drive to Pennsylvania if necessary, have heard I may have more luck with hospitals in Philly. Thank you SO much for any insight you can give me.
